Orpington parkrun 19 Andrew BREESE 00:20:58 PB 68 Janet LITTLEJOHN 00:28:37The big event and the culmination of months and months of training in the hotter than usual weather for 13 club members was Sunday's Berlin Marathon. Lots of PBs to be had and a couple of club records broken I think... It was a real shame to hear that Laura Stables was poorly and didn't manage to finish. Luckily she had Karen Barritt to look after her en route. Next time Laura!

Despite a recent injury he still managed a very respectable marathon time. Hope that knee is ok Dan! Did you see Nessie?

Three PWRs decided to take on the Dartford Bridge 10k, a fast and flat 2 lap course on the outskirts of Dartford.
